Ferrari 458 Spider

About FERRARI 458 SPIDER

Being a Ferrari, the 458 Spider offers one of the best in class exteriors. Its aerodynamic stability and aesthetically pleasing exteriors makes Ferrari a
priced possession only for the privileged to possess. Its key update is the retractable hardtop, which opens up and fits in the space behind the front seats. The distinctive headlamps blend in the bonnet seamlessly.

The Ferrari is known for its sports car features in terms of interiors which instill the spirit of racing and responsibility in its
drivers. The interiors feature a traditional sport steering with driving controls such as engine start, wireless controls, etc. The sports steering is
complemented with paddle shifters, which give a perfect setup for racing experience.

The Engine of the 458 Spider is a 570-CV, naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8 petrol engine that follows a direct injection
method increasing the engine performance, while partly fiddling with its mileage. The engine offers a displacement of 4499 cc. When an engine of such high
capacity is placed to deliver at speeds exceeding 300 Kmph, the performance in terms of side effects such as vibrations, sound caused, etc., remain a
concern.

In comparison to the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Aventador, the Ferrari 458 Spider offers its passengers a smoother ride and excellently carved
dynamics.

What we like

Performance, dynamics, persona, practicality and style were next to nothing in a Ferrari 458 Spider.

Suspensions were great as it let car glide over potholes and still maintain control.

Likewise acceleration and grip levels were good.

The Spider had a presence of mind, in terms of where it was driven.

What we don't like

The Ferrari 458 Spider was pricier than its high ranging coupe.

When the roof was up, rear visibility was affected.

The vehicle seems a little less lithe and agile.

On even very less throttle, the fuel didn’t seem to kick in and therefore, speed couldn’t be modulated, in city or highway.

Our Verdict

The Ferrari 458 Spider is a convertible coupe that was a combination of many masterful elements placed in it. It is definitely even more expensive than most other Ferrari siblings. It offered one of the greatest driving experiences in a Ferrari. Though a convertible, it was breaking away from typical Ferrari tradition that is the roof wasn’t a soft one, but a folding metal roof. Interestingly, the roof folded into two parts and stayed in place neatly settling below the engine cover. And the car’s mechanism was so uniquely packaged that luggage could be placed on the shelf to add to the front boot spacing.
